▎ 摘 要
Poly(amic acid) (PAA) is prepared by the reaction of dianhydride 4,4'-biphthalic anhydride and diamine bis[4-(3-aminophenoxy)phenyl]sulfone in N,N'-dimethylacetamide. Two types of fillers were dispersed in the as-synthesized PAA via a solution intercalation method; polyimide (PI) hybrid films were synthesized under various heat treatment conditions. Octylamine (C8) was introduced into graphene sheets (C8-GS) and bentonite (C8-BTN), which were then used as nanofillers in the PI hybrid films. The synthesized nanofillers were used in varying amounts of 0.25-1.00 wt% with respect to the matrix PI. The thermal and morphological properties and optical transparency of the hybrid films were investigated and compared for both C8-GS and C8-BTN at varying nanofiller content. The C8-BTN nanocomposite showed superior thermal properties, and optical transparency, and the filler was well dispersed in the PI matrix compared to the C8-GS nanocomposite. The thermal stability of the hybrid films improved upon the addition of small amounts of the nanofiller. However, beyond a certain critical filler concentration, the thermal stability declined. These results were verified through the dispersion of fillers via transmission electron microscopy.
